Project # PAS (Prior Authorization System) Duplicate Check

Description: The Prior Authorization System (PAS) is used to process member and provider requests for a member to receive a medication that is not on the member’s formulary. Prior Authorizations can be initiated by a member or by a provider.

There is no way for the system to catch these duplicate cases after the fact. Not catching these duplicate cases results in inappropriate reopening, incorrect denials, and missed turnaround times.
